History of Hilton Food Group

Hilton's business was established in 1994 to set up and operate a beef and lamb central meat packing facility in Huntingdon, England. Over the last 20 years this facility has grown and additionally we acquired a packing facility in the Netherlands, built new factories in a further four European countries and entered into a joint venture agreement with Woolworths in Australia.

Each of Hilton’s central meat packing plants are operated on a dedicated basis for Hilton customers. Hilton’s business model has been adapted to meet local requirements with customers in each country.
